walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

No. The defense will want to downplay that, I would think. They are going with George was doing nothing illegal, George had every right to call NE911, and that the Big Black Scary Kid committed a criminal act when he assaulted George with the intent of murdering him. And, George was forced to shoot the Big Black Kid to save his own life. Simple self-defense.

I agree.

The defense will definitely want George's medications kept out (or will minimize their relevance if let in); same as the prosecution's position in regards to the THC in Trayvon's system. If George was altered that night, it works against him not for him; not a defense.

I'm anxious for opening statements on Monday.

Feel like I know what the defense's case will be since they've put so much in the media and on the web. But, the state's shown fewer of its cards and hopefully has evidence not known to the public which will help the jury in reaching a verdict that reflects truth (whichever way it turns out).
